Citi launch massive 400,000 bonus point offer

In news that will delight credit card points lovers, Citi have made a number of changes to their suite of credit cards, including the introduction of a number of substantial bonus points offers which could earn cardholders up to 400,000 Citi Points.

Implemented today, the new bonus points offers apply to the Citi Platinum, Citi Signature and Citi Prestige credit cards, with applicants having until March 31, 2019 to take advantage of the deals.  

Cardholders will be able to earn up to 200,000 bonus points (10,000 a month) on the Citi Platinum, 300,000 (15,000 a month) on the Citi Signature and 400,000 (20,000 a month) on the Citi Prestige credit cards by meeting a minimum spending requirement of $1,000 each statement period for 20 months.

That’s on top of the standard points earning rates on the respective cards, meaning cardholders could earn even more!

The changes could prove alluring to shoppers and jetsetters alike, with a Mozo number crunch revealing that 200,000 Citi Points would currently convert into $950 worth of Myer gift cards* or 10 flights from Sydney to Melbourne.**
